One of the biggest problems with Android 4.4 KitKat is the lack of an easily readable battery percentage feature. It’s annoying to have to go into the device settings and then into the phone status in order to see how much battery life you’ve got left. Want to make it more convenient? Scroll down to step 1.

Steps

Method1

Using the “Percent Enabler”

1

Download the “Battery Percent for KitKat” application. Go to the Play Store and search “Battery Percent for KitKat.” Select the first app displayed in order to download it.

2

Open the application. From the App Tray (the collection of all the apps you’ve downloaded onto your Android), search for “Percent Enabler.” Select it.

3

Enable the Battery Indicator. After you open the app, click on the option that reads “Enable Battery Percent.” When you do, you’ll get a message: “Successfully changed. Please Reboot.”

4

Reboot your device. Press and hold your power button. After you reboot, look at your battery indicator. It will now display the percentage of battery life remaining!

Entering the ADB Command

Download the “Shell Terminal Emulator” application. Go to the Play Store and search “Shell Terminal Emulator.” Select the first app displayed in order to download it.
